A very nice read, thanks for sharing! It was also nice to see "our own" Bob Page quoted.

Stationary =/= StationEry

Sad to see that typo in a rag that should know better. ;)

 

Also to be picky, Honda wasn't bothered copying German motorcar designs in the 1960s - they were too busy building motorcycles! Their attack on 4-wheeled transport outside of JP began with the Civic.

 

Nissan otoh... their "tribute" to Mercedes engines & BMW suspension is remarkable :) very Lanbitou vs Lamy :P

Apparently the Great Firewall blocks the hisnibs site. Those in China can't view the page. It also seems to interfere with the emoticons as well. I can't even add the slam head into wall emoticon...

Likewise the misspelling of Sheaffer. :headsmack:

 

Didn't detract from a fascinating article, though. Thanks for sharing.

Sheaffer is actually spelled correctly. For a change. One of the oldest pen names is also one of the most misspelled.

And probably misspelled in more different ways than any other. :)

 

It's wrong in the caption on the first page of the article.

Ooof! I missed that. Schaffer, Scheaffer, Shaffer, Sceaffer...still waiting to see Shayfer.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
